Before heading into the meat of their respective schedules, the Augusta Christian Lions and Augusta Prep Cavaliers baseball teams got to know each other.

Playing twice in four days to open their seasons, the Lions beat the Cavaliers for the second time on Tuesday, 6-1.

Unlike the first contest in which the Lions swamped the Cavaliers 15-0, the Lions (2-0) pushed three runs across in the bottom of the fifth inning to break open a close 3-1 game. After the Cavaliers (0-2) batted in the top of the sixth, the game was called on account of darkness.

The Augusta Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc. will hold the David M. Dupree Invitational Golf tournament on March 15 at the Gordon Lakes Golf Club. Team registration is $280 or $70 per player with proceeds going to the Children’s Hospital of Georgia’s Autism Support Group (A-TEAM). Contact Don Bradley at augustaalumni1952@gmail.com.

As well as breaking records, Lakeside High School’s Ashlan Rosier is hoping to set a trend.

The school long known for being prominent in distance running saw Rosier, a sprinter who runs the 100 meter dash, the 200 and competes in the long jump, sign her letter of intent to Division I Georgia State University on Wednesday.

“I went on a visit and I really liked the college and I liked the atmosphere and I liked how it’s close to home,” said Rosier, who added that going to a Division I school was important.

While not in unchartered waters, it’s been some time since the Augusta Prep Cavaliers have been this deep in the Georgia Independent School Association’s state basketball playoffs.

With a 69-58 win over Heritage on Saturday, the Cavaliers (19-8) advanced to the GISA Class AAA State boys basketball semifinals for the first time since 1998. The Cavaliers’ second-round win followed a 49-39 first-round victory days earlier against Brookwood.

Everyone knew Augusta Christian had a good boys basketball team this season. The Lions, coached by former county standout point guard John Harris, got off to a great start but ran into trouble during region play. They still managed to post an 18-7 regular-season record and were seeded fourth in the Upper State bracket.
